Rogue's Gallery

The Secret History of the Moguls and the Money That Made the Metropolitan Museum.

by Michael Gross

An interesting complete history of the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York. Sometimes he goes into too much detail on peripheral characters or just talking about people on the fringes of the museum. Could have been cut back a bit.

The Revenge of Anguished English

More Accidental Assaults Upon Our Language

by Richard Lederer

A book with examples of people misusing language in funny ways. Good book if you want something that you can put down at a second's notice. Not that funny.
